All three clones were built with Semroc parts except for the fins which were laser-cut by BMS.

I'll be bringing all three Nike Rams to NARAM-49 along with my 'flight' Enerjet 1340 clone.

Bob,

That's a sweet fleet of Nike Rams.

Personally I think all of the finish schemes are challenging for me and actually the Nike Ram you built that I like the most is the challenging scheme. The fins really stand out against the white airframe on that version.

Do you plan to fly all of them at NARAM-49?

While all of my Nike Ram clones are flyable, I will only be flying the 'Easy' (red & white) scheme model at NARAM. That one is a little overbuilt and may lend itself to flights which are more 'challenging' ( ), depending on the weather and field size.

Thank you, Gus.

The three Nike Rams will be with me at NARAM. Now, all I have to do is figure out what OTHER rockets to bring.

Bob,

Whenever I go to a national launch the problem I have is not what to take but what to leave home!

Due to space limitations in my car, only one of the Nike Rams will be with me at NARAM.

Bob,

Why are you posting in the Forum? Shouldn't you be packing?

You're gonna forget something!
